Google goes VideoBlogging
A week too late for my taste google tries to grab the internet edge for themselfs again by announcing a video blogging service. It seems they do so because they want to research video searching. The current offering for video search has two shortcomings. First you need the full abstract of all spoken words to search inside the video - something that only big TV stations seems to do. Secondly you will only see still pictures of the videos - which makes the whole service totally mute.
from the advancedIPpipeline article:

"It's still a long way [today] from an ideal experience," he said.
